We have 44m cars in Germany. If we want to switch to emission-free mobility, we need 2-3 drive types: FCEV, BEV, NGV (natural gas v.).
Mobility On-demand start-up CleverShuttle, with its 45 Toyota Mirai, has emptied 1m km of zero emissions within 15 month. 62 H2 filling stations are already opened in Germany, 32 are about to be commissioned.
BEV without 100% renewable energy simply makes no sense. We currently produce 40% of our energy (about 400 terawatts) with renewable energies. In 2022, the last nuclear power plant (11% of the energy mix) in Germany will be shut down. By 2038, all coal-fired power plants (37% of the energy mix) will be shut down. (Rest: 13% gas power plants.)
We have 44m cars with an average of 20.000km p.a. which would add up to about 100 additional terawatts when converted to electric drive.
The expansion of renewable energy and the construction of power-to-gas power plants for the production of H2 and synthetic methane is the perfect combination to store renewable energy and thus to be able to use efficiently. That speaks for a combination of BEV, FCEV and NGV. CO2-neutral methane is also obtained via power-to-gas, making NGV one of the environmentally friendly alternatives
